Playing Chess by Himself.

New Workers who live in the suburbs
indulge in novel and queer pastimes oc-
caslonally while going to and fro between
the city and their homes. One of them
was observed one morning recently play
ing chess all by himself while the cars
were making forty miles an hour. He
held in his left hand a book containing
chess problems, and a small cardboard on
which were marked the black and white
squares The chessmen were small pieces
OF paper, on which repres entations of
kings, queens, castles, and so on, were
printed. Following the order of the
moves given in the book, he played the
game by changing the positions of the
pieces of paper, each square having below
1t slit into which the pieces of paper
could be thrust and firmly held, no mat
ter how much the car shook. Meantime

When all was in, it was left about
week, when it was leveled and
covered with building paper, with boards
on top of paper, and after several days
four inches of earth was put on. Opened
the silo and commenced feeding the mid
die of January. Found it in very good
condition with the exception Of some at
the corners, where the boarding joining
the wall was not perfect. The ensilage
was quite sour, but the cattle ate it
ravenously, preferring it to almost any
other feed. and there was IN increase III
the flow of milk about five per cent. Some
friends who were skeptical in regard to
the ensilage making good butter acknow-
lodged, after tasting it, that it was as good
as from any other feed. This farmer has a
farm of 40 acres and has been able to
keep forty head of stock by buying some
mill feed. With ensilage, he thinks he
can double the number of stock. This
year he contemplates fitting up both wings
of his COW barn, making two silos twenty
eight by eleven feet and fifteen feet deep,
which he estimates will hold about ITO
tons. He will be particular to make the
silos air tight.

A SIMPLE TELEPHONE.

Cut with circle saw from an inch board
two circular rims, twelve inches in diameter,
the open space in the center being seven
inches in diameter, one of them for each end
of the line. Then glue on one side of the rim
four thicsnesses of heavy MANILA paper,
drawing them as tightly as possible. 1t
would also be well to drive in few large
head carpet tacks about an inch apart.) On
the other side of the rim glue on two thick
nesses of paper, having in the center an OPEN
ing three inches in diameter.
The wire to be used is copper, about the
thickness of knitting needle. To fasten the
wire to the poles, nail short crosspiece to
the top, from which to tie the wire with
heavy cotton cord, leaving it loose enough so
that the wire will not touch the wood. The
opening in the side of the building should also
be large enough not to interfere with the
wire. Then make an opening in the center of
the four thicknesses of paper barely large
enough to receive the WIRE Draw the wire
tight and give it few twists around nail

Between the back of the transmitter and the

Harm SllOs.


The idea is quite prevalent that silo
must be of masonry and very substantial
and expensive in order to gain paying re-
suits. Such, however, is not the case.
Many silos are now being built in the in
terror of the big barn, using whole or
part of bay. According to Prairie Far.
mer nearly five times as much forage can
be put into given space in the form of
ensilage as can be stored in the same
space If the same crop is dried-fifty
cubic feet Of ensilage weighing a ton-5OO
feet or more are requisite for ton of hay.
A Minnesota correspondent in the jour
nal quoted from tells how he took part of
one wing of his barn, which is eleven feet
wide in the clear, for silo by way of ex-
pertinent. There was stone wall on one
side and one end seven feet high, with
framework extending eight or nine feet
above it. This he studded up with two

Conclusions About Potato es.

After many years of practical experience
Edmund Hersey, a well known Massachu-
sets cultivator, has arrived at the follow
ing conclusions:
1. Whole potatoes will produce crop a
week or ten days earlier than those which
are divided.
2. Small, whole potatoes will produce
results as good, if not better, than large
oneS.
3. The seed end is the better one to
plant, because it starts with more vigor
and produces more and larger potatoes.
4. A large piece is better, on ordinary
soil, than small pieces or eyes
8. Potatoes with sprouts long enough
to break off in planting are not so good as
those with eyes advanced just enough to
indicate vigor
8. The form cannot, as a rule, be
changed by planting any particular form.
Z. Two distinct varieties won't mix in
the same hill.

less we know about it.

it being designed to plant the burrows be-
tween the Eeds, The main object Ia to
insure the moisture the crop may need:
The fertilizer Is sown In the bottom OF

grain Is then dropped and covered by a
corn planter or otherwise, The subse-
a,,ent cultivation is done with shovels or
cultlvators. which will gradually level
down the surface of the beds, returning
the soil to the corn.
The system OF checking corn, largely
adopted in the northern and western
states and also common In the valley OF
Virginia, admits of cultivation in two d.
rsctions-direct and across-and has the
advantage of saving all hoe labor. In addi-
ton tQsgivlng the plants II better oppor-

At the east large areas of corn are usu-

yearly gaining advocates and the old hill

Duck and Drake,

"Duck and Drake" is very simple sport,
but very old one. The Greeks used to play
it with oyster shells, and called it "Epostra
Kismos." 1t consists in ainging piece of flat
tile, or stone, along the surface of pond, in
such way that it skins over the water,
touching 1t several times, and rebounding
again, until it finally sinks. He whose stone.
or tile, makes the greater number of leaps,
before it disappears beneath the water, is the
winner. As the sport consists in throwing
away stones, so it is often said of man who
throws away his money, as if it had been
oyster shells or stones, that "he is making
ducks and brakes of it," A "duck" is stone
that has rebounded twice from the water; a
drake" one that has jumped up three times
